The NHL offseason has barely begun and already we're seeing coaching changes across the league. The San Jose Sharks are the latest to make headlines, announcing today the firing of head coach David Quinn after just two seasons.

The #SJSharks   have fired head coach David Quinn.
This decision came as a bit of a shock, considering the Sharks have struggled with one of the least competitive rosters in recent NHL memory. Finishing last in the league this season with a mere 47 points, the team's performance seemed inevitable given its construction.
During his tenure in San Jose, Quinn amassed a record of 41-97-25. This stint marked his second role as an NHL head coach, and he has yet to see playoff action in his career.
While the Sharks' dismal performance can hardly be laid solely at Quinn's feet given the apparent roster issues and the team's overt move towards rebuilding the organization is now looking to turn a new leaf. Their immediate priority? Hiring a new head coach to guide them through the coming reconstruction phase.
